That's probably just your head position and wide FOV in-game. In the 109 I've moved the head position forward to get a more correct view, but with the high FOV I use it is impossible to get it totally right.

Dude,

Sounds like a taker. I think that is the only scenario I have missed since 2008.

Was the 2nd Scenario I flew in since coming back I think the first one I flew in was was Philippine Phandango or something like that. But the most I recall about BOG was the even matched planes and the great fights that came with the event I could be wrong but I think there were alot of Great remarks plus some bad like always  about that Scenario and the Turn out was pretty good but then again I could be wrong, just sitting here and thinking of what Hit Scenarios with good turn outs would be good for 12 hr events and this seems to the new trend of going to 12 hrs easier for alot of us to get off from work to play the events then 4 Saturdays of trying to get off from work.

Anybody around from the AW team?  They canned some interesting scenarios back in the day.  It's possible that a list of their work would throw out some new ideas.
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.

Jordi used to be in that group and Tilt?  You must have some docs laying about somewhere or a few shadowy memories at any rate.

Yes.  I started a group that did them in the later 1990's.  It's been so long, I don't think I have any info left on the designs.  Some might exist online somewhere for all I know.

A list of them going back to the first one in 1993 are here, along with pictorials from the few most-recent ones:

I was part of the Catch-22 crowd that did Ploesti, Italy and a couple others.

The Ploesti "Those who Fall" was the one that brought us the infamous "I Call Bull#^*t" whine 😀

That was a side switch that included a low level Ploesti run, the all P-38 Ploesti raid anc a normal bombing raid where you had to run them but the CO decided which frame they wanted to do them.  Seems like I recall 6 frames with each side flying 3 Allied and 3 Axis

Jordi, Tilt, Flossy, ya shadow memory has them lurking.  I think Culero is still around but not in game, I seem to remember asw being on there, maybe Hajo?  I am going to have to really search, I know there are a lot.

Oh, here is an scenario standard DoK drafted way back when

By the way, folks, we're not tallying votes yet.

First, folks can discuss and develop any additional suggestions.

Once it's time to open the vote, I'll start a new topic for it.

I think if you take a late '43 setup and skew the plane set a little.  Add more Ki-61s, it would balance out the P-38s and F4Us.  The Ki-61 is more than a match for the F4U-1 or -1A.  My vote is still for solomons late '43.
